Variations in definitions and methodologies have created differences in the results and conclusions obtained from studies of football (soccer) injuries; this has made interstudy comparisons difficult.
An Injury Consensus Group was established under the auspices of Fédération Internationale de Football Association Medical Assessment and Research Centre. Using a nominal group consensus model approach, a working document that identified the key issues related to definitions, methodology, and implementation was discussed by members of the group during a 2-day meeting. After this meeting, iterative draft statements were prepared and circulated to the members of the group for comment before the final consensus statement was produced.
Definitions of injury, recurrent injury, severity, and training and match exposures in football, together with criteria for classifying injuries in terms of location, type, diagnosis, and causation are proposed. Proforma for recording players' baseline information, injuries, and training and match exposures are presented. Recommendations are made on how the incidence of match and training injuries should be reported and a checklist of issues and information that should be included in published reports of studies of football injuries is presented.
The definitions and methodology proposed in the consensus statement will ensure that consistent and comparable results will be obtained from studies of football injuries.
定义和方法的差异导致了足球（英式足球）损伤研究结果和结论的不同；这使得研究间的比较变得困难。
在国际足球联合会医学评估与研究中心的支持下成立了一个损伤共识小组。采用名义群体共识模型方法，一份确定了与定义、方法和实施相关关键问题的工作文件在为期两天的会议期间由小组成员进行了讨论。此次会议之后，编写了迭代草案声明并分发给小组成员征求意见，然后才产生最终的共识声明。
提出了足球运动中损伤、复发性损伤、严重程度以及训练和比赛暴露的定义，以及根据损伤部位、类型、诊断和病因对损伤进行分类的标准。给出了记录球员基线信息、损伤以及训练和比赛暴露情况的表格。就比赛和训练损伤的发生率应如何报告提出了建议，并给出了足球损伤研究发表报告中应包含的问题和信息清单。
共识声明中提出的定义和方法将确保足球损伤研究能够获得一致且可比的结果。
